Working as a cinematic VFX artist creating high-quality fantastical effects to enhance people's media-viewing experience

I took my first VFX class in fall of 2022 and instantly fell in love with the art form and the way it allowed me to use my background in 2D art to create something more technical and 3D. From there, when I realized my university didn't offer any more VFX courses, I pursued independent studies with one of my professors who guided me along my journey in learning Houdini VFX and developing high-quality shots for my portfolio.
